For two or so seasons now, I have mulled over a situation, when doing my contracts.

I understand that players, as they are out of contract and ratings improve....the contract is adjusted according to the new ratings.

My concern is that players, when their contract is up for extension, BUT THEIR RATING HAS DROPPED.....why their contract isn't extended based on the new ratings???

In real life....a player coming to the end of their contract and is getting close to retirement....would be offered a reduced contract.......we need to do the same.......

I'd be interested in other coaches thoughts.....

I'd be dead against the idea. The number one thing the ASRL must retain is a good balance between player retention and players off contract. With your idea, it would greatly reduce the number of talented players off contract at the end of each season. For example, come off contract time, I'd definitely retain guys like Hayne and Mansour whose stats have fallen....which would reduce the talent for off-season bidding.
By not reducing the salary of an 8/7 like Hayne, I'd be forced to decide whether to keep him in the hope of a stat rise or let him go and not take a risk.

Strong clubs cannot keep them all.....nature of the beast with our salary cap. It gives opportunities for weaker clubs to build up.

Having personally run into this issue VERY recently (cough-cough!)...

...whilst I think that reducing the base salary for a ratings-dropped player on an expired contract, when deciding to offer a new contract, makes sense...

...I also think avoidance of hoarding talent is also necessary...and if one wants that player on a reduced salary compared to the base salary that they otherwise would be on if one just resigned them, it's possible (but not guaranteed) to do so during the contract bidding process...

...so I am also opposed to the idea.
